    Description

    Release Date: 23 August 2004

    One of only two westerns helmed by cult director Samuel Fuller (I Shot Jesse James being the other), Forty Guns has acquired a mighty reputation amongst cineastes despite being initially overlooked by American audiences.

    Jessica Drummond (Barbara Stanwyck) is a despotic landowner who, with a posse of hired guns, has made herself the law of Cochise County, Arizona. However, Griff Bonnell (Barry Sullivan), a one-time gunslinger turned United States Marshall arrives to restore democratic law and order and soon all roads lead to a violent stand off.

    Exploring the sexual attraction between Drummond and Bonnell, Fuller (Shock Corridor) takes a characteristically singular approach to the genre, giving it a thrillingly personal and uncompromising vision. Handsomely shot and with knockout performances from Stanwck and Sullivan, this is an essential viewing experience ripe for rediscovery.

    Jessica Drummond rules Arizona county with her gang of hired guns. A new marshal arrives to sort the situation but she finds herself falling brutally in love with him despite his calm law-abiding nature.
